Hummingbird feeder replacement tubes with ball valve

I have been making my own hummingbird feeders. The only replacement feeding tubes I can find drip constantly. Does anyone know where I can order the stopper tubes with the stainless steel ball in the tip?

The tubes you are using are vacuum tubes. You need to completely fill the feeder with nectar and then install the tube. It works like putting your finger on the end of a straw to hold the liquid in. If any air is in the feeder it will leak.
